I'll never understand how "a lot of mostly/potentially/probably incorrect metadata is better for digital discovery than accurate but sparse metadata" became a popular idea than "we will put things online more slowly, but we will do it with accuracy"

Science fiction authors designing aliens need to aspire to at least the level of weirdness of a real bucket orchid. Coryanthes macrantha in my greenhouse this morning. Flower is approx 15 cm wide, 10 cm tall. 🌴🌱

A bucket orchid in shades of orange and yellow. The bucket is formed from the distal end of the labellum and the column. Glands drip liquid into the bucket. Bees falling into the bucket can only escape through a hole at one side where they will be forced into contact with the pollen and stigma at the end of the column. The hole is pretty large, so the bees must be equally big. The sepals look like big wings made of tissue paper that counterbalance the bucket. The base of the labellum where it connects to the rest of the flower looks like a weirdly ridged orange alien penis.

Also, apparently, the frat had been busted three days prior for a different ketamine overdose which should have barred the frat from having parties but the party was sanctioned anyway. Also, while a lot of Cornell frats are off campus, this one, is allegedly on campus.

I just keep thinking about how incredibly young they are. Not the alleged rapists (fuck them, you're never too young to know not to rape someone though I am stunned at how callous they already are) but everyone who got ensnared by them.

The museum space isn't as dramatic as the lobby, but it's *very* well put together for a small museum. They clearly either worked with a museum consultant, or had somebody experienced with this stuff on staff. Good expository text, good mix of artifacts despite a small space, some interactive stuff.

A photo of a room featuring a big terra cotta vase, backlit photos of old terra cotta factory workers, a miniature model of an old factory complex, and lots of displays with expository text.

Another portion of the space features terra cotta artifacts, explanations of parts of the production process, and an old design notebook with a designer's sketches in it.

One display shows a portion of the terra cotta used for the Sheridan Trust and Savings Bank building in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood.

Okay, George Lucas remains a schmuck but his wife is pure class. She made him make the museum souvenirs and food cheap so that schoolchildren without much money can still have a good day, because she says she remembers how bad it felt to go on expensive field trips. It DOES.

“They were young Christians. Capable, intelligent people,” Mr. Sylvestre said. “We prayed before we started the meeting.” The Alberta Separatist movement is a racist, Christian nationalist movement. Why do you think there are immigration questions on the ballot? It's to disenfranchise BIPOC

What everyone has to prepare for is the constitutional crisis to accelerate if the Democrats take the House and the Senate. Vought has been allowed by the Republicans to act with impunity, so have he will continue to ignore Congress. This is why you have to impeach him immediately.

I’m gonna make a general comment here: every person who comes into a Black woman’s mentions to say she doesn’t know her intellectual place thinks that race and gender has nothing to do with it. BUT: The decision not to consider how Black women are targeted before commenting is itself misogynoir.

Studies find that universities see an increase in applications and an increase in the number of donations after a public scandal about mishandling sexual violence. These tactics are a part of why. The school declares themselves “changed” and a “leader” in PR campaigns.

Anyway if we want to talk about restorative justice in rape cases, we have to make...a shitload of changes to the culture first. Because at this point, it feels like a bunch of people pointing at gun at a woman and saying "WELL WHAT MINIMAL CONSEQUENCE DO YOU ACCEPT? DON'T RUIN HIS LIFE."

(I said "voluntarily relinquish" above, and I think that I want to change those words to be "not be allowed at" because I don't think he would voluntarily relinquish it. But if he didn't voluntarily let that go, there simply was no next step toward restoration.)

He was a well-known missing stair who was constantly invited to everything, and so step one in my "what might restorative justice look like" was this: he had to voluntarily relinquish going to these events--which he loved!--forever.

Just bumping into this again with people _reflexively_ using the word "grape" or a 🍇 emoji and not even realizing they're doing it. It's all part of the same system, where the men running these companies make platforms that don't even let people accurately describe the crimes that they enable.
